Event Description:

In what is expected to be a Wagnerian event for the ages, soprano Christine Goerke plays Brünnhilde, the willful title warrior maiden, who loses her immortality in opera’s most famous act of filial defiance. Hosted by Alex del Vecchio, "Die Walküre" starts at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 30 at the Newport Performing Arts Center.

Tenor Stuart Skelton and soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek are the twins Siegmund and Sieglinde, and bass-baritone Greer Grimsley sings the god Wotan. Philippe Jordan conducts. Run time is approximately 3 hours and 55 minutes, with two intermissions.
